3 Reasons Why People Hate Transition Lens

[@quickpickle]

ive got the gen 8 lenses and im super happy with them. Transition times are just fine.

[@MUSHFIQ_H]

What is the price?

[@AngeLEyes8100]

How is it for driving ?

[@macraghnaill3553]

I have been wearing "Photochromic" glasses since 1975, [Reactions Rapide"] I wouldn't wear anything else, they also protect against cateracts. I have been wearing them for so long I can't tell when they change colour

[@west-Co_exploration]

I have the Gen 8 transitions, and your second point is still a major problem. They do not lighten quickly enough. I live in a very hot very sunny region and after they have darkened completely (and they get very dark) when I walk into a store it takes 8 to 10 minutes for them to lighten enough for me to be able to read price tags and labels. I end up having to carry a second pair of glasses to use indoors, This is completely unacceptable. And of course the number one issue is that they do not stay dark in a car where you need sunglasses to drive. If I have to switch glasses every time I get in the car I might as well get basic lenses and wear my sunglasses whenever I'm in the sun. The new Zeiss "adaptive sun" lenses may solve this issue, because they are supposed to be faster and yet stay mildly tinted when indoors or in the evening. They also darkened to 60 or 70% in the car.

[@STR-ENGNR]

Did u try hoya sensity2 ??

[@cyclehavenbanks9851]

Just makes the glasses more useful. If I’m outside all day I’ll probably put on the prescription sunglasses but the transition are good enough. I don’t use my old glasses anymore.

[@treydrier3169]

This is very helpful. I like transition lenses. There is one issue though. I play softball. The odd thing about transitions is when wearing a baseball hat the bottom half of the lens is dark while the top half is clear because the bill of the baseball hat blocks the sun for only part of the lens. I hope that makes sense because I don't know how else to describe it. At first I thought there was something wrong with the lenses but I soon realized that they only block where the sun hits that the lens. 95% of the time this works great but not for playing outdoor sports. Much better as a lifestyle lens.

[@paganphil100]

I recently bought a pair of glasses with transition lenses (Gen 8, amber colour) and I have the same problem mentioned in this video.....they don't get dark enough even outside on a bright sunny day. I can see no noticeable darkening at all looking through them although when I look in a mirror they do seem slightly darker "from the outside".

[@DanielSturge]

Aome of that is your eyes adjusting to the tint. Your eyes, like cameras will make changed to light as the light changes up to a specific point. They may not seem darker because hour eyes may be letting more light in as they darken given the illusion that it isn't actually darker.

[@LadyBovine]

How fast they transition apparently depends on a lot on the air temperature. I've seen tests where they (Transition gen 8) take upward of 4 minutes (sometimes much longer) to transition back to reasonably clear. Even 1.5 minutes is too long if you depend on your glasses to see, and you go between inside and outside frequently, for example if you're doing diy/garden work on the weekend, working on/under a car, you're delivery driver etc. These glasses are still too slow for a lot of people.

[@minakshitiwari8285]

My glasses takes less than 1 min.some time 30 second

[@LadyBovine]

@@minakshitiwari8285 I've never seen a test even close to that speed (from full dark), so unless you have actually timed it, I don't believe you. Either way I'm guessing you're in a warm climate, and the transition is MUCH slower in the cold.

[@SWLinPHX]

​@@LadyBovine Actually, severe heat makes some Transitions lenses not get as dark. But which Transitions line are you talking about: Gen. 8 (or earlier)? Vantage? XTRActive? XTRActive Polarized? XTRActive Mirrored? Drivewear? etc.

[@LadyBovine]

@@SWLinPHX yeah, ok. But yeah I'm talking about gen 8. I've never seen demonstrations of those going full dark to full clear in a minute, and forget about 30 seconds. They seem to take a few minutes to get to "almost" clear. But if someone can record a demonstration showing otherwise, that would be great.

[@SWLinPHX]

@@LadyBovine Probably takes longer than 30 sec. under many conditions. Are you saying they NEVER get fully clear or how long do they take to get that clear? Do you own or have you tried them?

[@francoisbelangerboisclair]

I would classify the Transition or any chromatic lenses as a do it all: but not so well... I got a pair several years ago but decided never against... Now I changed my mind because of the low cost ordering online. They are not my primary pair of glasses. It's probably defeat purpose of chromatic lenses. But I feel they are good as a secondary pair I can wear when I have a good lighting inside and want protection outside. But in the evening, I don't like the tint it keep inside and they are not really a solution for driving. That why I also have a pair of polarized and one of clear lenses.

[@jeannielynna]

I'm VERY light sensitive and thankfully found glasses that darken BEHIND the windshield.

[@nicolebradley3959]

Regular transtions go really clear really fast. I however don't really notice any difference between xtraactive lenses and the regular transtions lenses, I have noticed a lil bit of a tint indoors clearer at night. But as they change from sunglasses to clear lenses I really don't know the difference, They seem like they change fast too me from sunglasses to clear,

[@jeannielynna]

These are the lenses I have i LOVE them.

[@LewyLewy2008]

This is helpful information, but my concern is whether they will darken inside when I’m at work - particularly if I’m sitting at a desk near windows that don’t block UV light. Long ago that used to happen to me. An optician told me that in the older buildings in my city the windows usually don’t block UV light. So, unfortunately the lenses will be darkened to some extent even when I’m inside such buildings. I’m not keen on that, as I don’t think it’s a very professional look in the office or on Zoom meetings when working remotely.

[@lipeteixeira]

Omg, I just bough one and I’m pretty sure that the windows in the building were I work on does not have UV protection 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@gliorchisonocomelecipolle]

Hell yeah, they do darken quite a bit and it's not a good look at work. I hate them and I'm changing them soon

[@LewyLewy2008]

@@gliorchisonocomelecipolle that was my experience too. They don’t tell people about that.

[@chelseajane9626]

Yer I love my transition lenses but the time it takes to transition back once inside does make me feel very off kilter and at times I feel nauseous.

[@Beltran15x]

I hate how long they take to go back to normal once you go inside you literally can't see for like ten minutes because it's so dark especially in the winter mine get extremely dark

[@erik.a.kaiser]

I'm doing research on photochromics, and I find Ken. Great job.

[@joelf5565]

I love photochromatic lenses, but I don’t need glasses to see. I can just take them off when coming in doors from outside. For those that can barely see without glasses then they may not be best. Especially if you live in colder climates because they get a lot darker in cold weather and when coming indoors it would be very hard to see. In summer I find I can keep them on indoors while they are going back to clear as they don’t get very dark in hot weather.

[@jenniturtleburger3708]

I have a question for you. I wear TransitionXtra, the darkest transition lenses. My question is, since I’m always wearing my glasses am I missing out on important wave lengths that my eyes need to stay healthy?

[@Dudelikescake]

I’m no expert, but isn’t the entire point of these and traditional sunglasses to remove light that could be harmful to your eyes.

[@jenniturtleburger3708]

@@Dudelikescake Ya, but I’m wonder if it’s also blocking good light. I remember reading or hearing somewhere that always wearing sunglasses outside blocks some spectrum of light your eyes need a bit of to stay healthy.

[@DR-zj4od]

Transition lenses are the ONLY type I purchase for my main set of glasses. I will buy a set of regular glasses for strictly sunglasses or single vision clear "Movie" glasses (I wear progressive lenses). Buy name brand transition lenses but even Zenni's stuff works great (for 1 year). These work as a great backup pair of sunglasses and I do buy a set of sunglasses that are very dark but, when you only have one set of glasses with you they will still work as sunglasses! Also you may need some sunglasses in a car so yes, you will need a set of sunglasses but if you leave them behind you still are wearing a good set of sunglasses.

[@jeannielynna]

Oh wow, you sound like me. I too have " movie" glasses. Wearing progressive eyeglasses in the theater bothers my eyes. I always have to sit in the middle if I'm wearing them. Very uncomfortable otherwise.

[@bilaltahir9978]

What is your view on the gen s transitions vs xtractive?

[@fatjoshddr]

i love my transitions! i have a brown colored transition lens in my tortoiseshell Gittin Any? Chrome Hearts frames. Goes great with the frames, and they can double as my sunglasses!

[@eyeguyken8042]

Really good choice. We sell chrome hearts all the time. Why spend 1k for a pair of glasses if you're not getting the "works" with transition and also the best coating for the lens? Lens are as important as the frame for glasses

[@212roblox212]

Does brown or grey tinted help better to hide dark circles?

[@freedomchannel3656]

Is it true transition lenses only last approximately 3 years and the tint on them gets lighter in the sunlight

[@trentc7329]

Is it safe to clean transition lenses in an ultrasonic cleaner regularly? Will it affect the color change?

[@TheCerealHobbyist]

I have avoided them as they never seemed to be completely clear indoors, which is maddening. Is this still the case?

[@Ten_Znany]

Depends which one will you choose. If you pick clarity focused one they should be crystal clear, but they'll not darken enough to be shades alternative

[@dplj4428]

3:12 transition, old generation, photochromatic. Photochromatic? Whatever i have, i cannot read signs, my vision is reduced. I think i would do better with clip ons.

[@jr8472]

I hate the old transitions when it 2st came out but now it's on par with sunglasses in terms of darkness.i love them now

[@mostguitarswins]

One thing I've noticed is my photochromic lenses don't get as dark when I wear a hat with a large brim - that makes sense since I'm shielding the glasses from UV. If I take off the hat for a minute, the lenses will fully darken. One of the reasons people hate photochromic lenses that wasn't mentioned is they don't darken in the car because windshields typically filter UV. Separate sunglasses for driving are still necessary.

[@jeannielynna]

I was able to find lenses that darken behind the windshield. I think their called Xtractive driveway? Anyway if any of you suffer from light sensitivity they have been a Godsend to me. Migraines suck and these have really helped me.

[@RyanReta97]

This actually cleared up my doubt on whether they changed less in the shade✌️✌️

[@CyclingNeko]

The weakness of transition is, it does not block harsh light from the sun efficiently. A 20% tinted grey lens are much more better reducing the harsh sun light (I have booth glasses). I have no problem with the speed of the transition, my only gripe is the color variation still not that much. Currently, only imported lens that has some color variation, while the local lens is still stuck with grey color with blue coating (bluechromic). I live in equator, so sunlight can be very harsh in a broad daylight, so the dark color can be very dark in less than 10 seconds.

[@robertmotion]

0:27 - agree 100%. wouldn’t wear glasses without transition. /Bklyn👑

[@nicolebradley3959]

Yes regular transtions don't get dark enough, especially in a car. Now the xtraactive which I've had for almost a week now they get darker and especially in a car.

[@SWLinPHX]

There is also Transitions DriveWear for daytime driving.

[@midomax5773]

Hey Doc, I really love your glasses, where did you get these particular ones and what are they called? Thank you!

[@silentdreamer925]

Is there any way to remove the transitions without needing to get new glasses?

[@secretasianmanified]

I left my transitions glasses in my car for a couple months over the summer. It doesn't transition anymore after being stuck in dark mode. I recommend this method for getting rid of the transitions. It will be clear regardless of UV exposure. Though this was only done with a knockoff photosensitive lens.

[@212roblox212]

Does brown or grey tinted help better ro hide dark circles?

[@SWLinPHX]

Both will hide. Go with what looks best with your skin tone and frames (brown w/gold or tortoiseshell, gray w/silver or black frames, etc.)

[@Native722]

Can transition work with super high prescription like -12?

[@6kooter]

This is a bit of a surprise, I always thought the term "transition" meant the change of magnification of the lens that has no line as opposed to a bifocal lens that has a distinct line where it changes rx. The ability to become light or dark I always was thought to be referred to as "photogrey". Anyway-- I got new glasses from TSO, cost $600 and after having them redone 3 times they finally got the magnification correct, but the changing from light to dark makes them unusable. I had specified I wanted that property, but did not want them to get too dark. Alas, now that I am wearing them outside I find they get so dark that I cannot really see anything very well at all. Riding my motorcycle yesterday started becoming dangerous because they get so dark that everything has a distorted contrast and is very distracting. Colors are not natural. Is there anyway these can be fixed so they don't get so dark? Maybe some sort of intense ultraviolet treatment to artificially age and lighten them ? what about a pair of clear goggles or glasses I can wear over them to prevent them from darkening?

[@mavince]

I believe you're referring to progressive lenses where it gradually corrects like bifocals without the sharp line

[@ViAzuaga]

Thank you, Ken.

[@jsmith5443]

What kind of glasses do you recommend to protect from artificial and sunlight the best?

[@mendozaconsultation]

IF you already have glasses, can you get them turned into transition lenses.?

[@hellacoorinna9995]

Yes

[@cmcg1190]

From the start, my transition lenses were way too dark, so much so that I had trouble reading my phone, they took almost 10 minutes to transition to clear and didn't darken while driving, which is the only reason I wanted them in the first place. I should have remembered that windshields filter out UV rays... Also, the optician didn't educate me at all about the lenses.

[@tellmestraight]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video!

[@conundrum2313]

This only to apply if you live somewhere with moderate temperatures: unless I was full on scammed by a big name optician, I have gen 8 lenses and in the cold they take forever to go clear, in the heat they never get dark. Where I live you get maybe a month or two out of the year where it isn't either too hot or too cold.

[@cwsspot]

Help!!🙂 I'm a professional driver. I spend most of my time behind a windshield. I'm looking for something I can wear day and night. I have a pair of Polarized light brown Oakley sunglasses that I wear from nearly sun up to sun down and I love them. However I'm trying to get out of my contacts a lot more. So here I am. Being that I'm gone for so much of my time, getting into an optometrist is nearly impossible for me. I really like the idea of the Drivewear however I feel like they will be to dark at night. I really want something polarized and in a brown vs a gray. And I do have prescription sunglasses so I could go lighter in the tint on the new glasses and have something to change into. So? Any help? I ask because it seems you really only find reviews for Transitions vs Chromatic lens by other companies or maybe it's just because I don't know any of the other company names.

[@r1r597]

Isn’t there a ‘night and day transition lens for driving’? I think it turns yellow at night for antiglare against incoming light

[@SWLinPHX]

Polarization is not really best for nighttime driving.

[@SWLinPHX]

UV and polarized glasses usually have a yellow or blue tint to them. Headlights and streetlights are not the same as sunlight, however, and these glasses may actually be dangerous to wear at night. Polarized and darkened lenses can block out too much light at night and make it harder to see.

[@Ten_Znany]

Cheap sunglasses can protect from UV as good as rip-off expensive sunglasses, but that’s not the point. You’re buying prescription sunglasses and the convenience of one pair.

[@jakexgold3879]

Same clear looking lenses gives different level of gamma, I have 2 pairs of normal glasses, the 20 years old one gives higher gamma - the black colour don’t look so black and so can see more details in the black, … while the newer one bought in year 2017 gives darker black colour, it’s like having high dynamic contrast! Neither the two glasses I own are normal, as one gives higher brightness like higher gamma and the other gives higher dynamic contrast (and lower gamma), I can tell it because I own a third pair of glasses that was made of solid glass than plastic! Do not just look at the glasses’ shade level and effects, one has to try many lenses to see the gamma and dynamic contrast levels!

[@kalijasin]

Why pay the high cost for transition lenses? Most places include with any lenses or glasses you buy a UV Protection coating and for free.

[@micahjohnsanchez3397]

Is there a difference between the New Gen Xtractive and New Gen Xtractive Polarized? Which one gets darker under direct sunlight? In the FAQs portion of the transition website it says the New Gen Xtractive gets darker than the polarized variant using the word “extra darker”. But my optometrist tells me that they don’t differ in shade. Just that one gets polarized.

[@eyeguyken8042]

HI Micah, great question. Your optometrist is correct. The new Xtractive gets darker than regular transitions and gets darker in the car but it is not polarized. Xtraactive Polarized get darker and is also a polarized lens.

[@SWLinPHX]

You will not want the XTRActive polarized however if you want to wear them indoors (watching TV, etc.) or driving at night though. Polarization makes them great for driving and being out in the sun, but that's it. XTRActive non-polarized gives you more versatility in one pair, such as indoors and night driving.

[@davidbenjamin7165]

Why are they a bad choice for indoor use?

[@AMPProf]

Basically, I want to see the same as though who do not need Correctives! I am thinking of changing my Transition lenses to Normal lenses because: Health- Losing My ability to see in Natural Light intensities... losing my Natural ability to see in the sunlight. I would rather see uv light! Color- My ability to see the Natural shades of color outdoors! everything is a different shade than would be without!

[@SWLinPHX]

What generation and line and tint of Transitions do you have? Makes a BIG difference.

[@SWLinPHX]

Most people who need glasses have a dedicated pair of prescription sunglasses, clear glasses and then Transitions if they want. Many have non prescription sunglasses if and when wearing contact lenses.

[@robertochaves9305]

But there's no reason to not use transitions on the clear glasses. At least here in Brasil, Transitions are expensive only when comparing to less quality lenses. If you a buy a good quality pair of lenses, they will cost almost the same. And the average ones (signature) get really clear indoors, including inside the car, even in a sunny day. I guess mine use to have a little tint indoors when they were new, but then it gets better.

[@robertochaves9305]

I like transitions a lot. But they can't substitute sunglasses. They help preventing your eyes to burn in the sun, but don't make it really comfortable to stay outdoors in the sun for some time.

This is so funny about the glasses not getting dark enough. My complaint is that my glasses get too dark. In fact, they get so dark that I am losing clarity. When I put my prescription sunglasses on, my clarity is perfect. With my transition glasses it seems like a fog has just set in. So disappointed.

[@robertochaves9305]

If that effect is indoors, it will probably get better with time. I notice my transitions also had a little tint indoors and the process of turning dark and clear was slower when they were newer. Now it's cristal clear indoors and get dark int he sun very fast, and back to clear.

I've just gotten my first set of transition lenses, they are gen 8 by Essilor (I checked my receipt) & I have to say they are absolute rubbish & were a complete waste of money. I suffer from dry eye & am very light sensitive, the optometrist said I needed distance glasses that would prevent eye strain whilst driving & recommended transitions lenses. I now squint even more & my eyes are sorer as they let way too much light in, they hardly change colour at all & certainly don't get anywhere near as dark as they have been shown to get in any of the KZbin video's I've seen. I know they don't get as dark behind a car windscreen, but they don't get any darker standing outside in direct sunlight. Won't be buying them again & since I don't legally need them to drive, I guess I'll go back to my non prescription Ray Ban sunglasses that I paid over $500 for 15 years ago, they do a much better job of protecting my eyes than my prescription transitions glasses.
